I made another card just for fun today!
We had to stay home to keep an eye on our dog - to stop her from licking the wound she had sewn up yesterday - yuk! So between cooking a huge batch of chicken and rice casserole and watching the dog, I managed to squeeze in a card. It's for a couple of Splitcoast challenges - Ways to Use It (the color orange) and Clean and Simple (Spring).
It uses one the new Tim Holtz Components stamps called Bird Song, which is stamped onto an Antiqued Glimmer (TJ Dec/Jan 10) background. I'm not sure you can even see the sparkle from the Glimmer Mist - the winter weather is not cooperating at the moment, but here's a close-up anyway:
The sentiment is also from a new Tim H set called Good Thoughts. The first half is stamped on the front of the card and the second half on the inside.
Happy stamping!
Supplies:
- Stamps: Bird Song & Good Thoughts (Stampers Anonymous), Vintage Vogue (flourish inside - Stampin' Up!)
- Cardstock: Vintage Cream (PTI), Basic Black, Real Rust
- Ink: Spiced Marmalade & Fired Brick Distress Inks, Memento black, Really Rust, black marker
- Accessories: ribbon (unknown), black brad (American Crafts), Glimmer Mist
Gorgeous card!

Beautiful card. Your mists blended so beautifully. Gotta love Tim's stamps. The one thing my new hubbie told me when we first met was "be who you are" because I was so run over before. Your sentiment reflects this same thought and I really like it.
